Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji)
- 4 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
- 2 tablespoons rolled oats
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons ground nutmeg
- 0.5 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 1 cup water
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Wash and dry the apples. Using a paring knife or apple corer, carefully remove the cores, leaving about 1/2 inch at the bottom of each apple to create a well for the filling.
In a small bowl, mix together the brown sugar, rolled oats, cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla extract until well combined.
Divide the brown sugar-oat mixture evenly among the cored apples, packing it into the center wells.
Cut the butter into small pieces and place a piece on top of each filled apple.
Arrange the apples in a baking dish and pour the water into the bottom of the dish to prevent the apples from drying out and to create a simple sauce.
Drizzle the maple syrup over the tops of the apples.
Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.
Remove the foil and bake for an additional 20-25 minutes, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a fork and the filling is bubbling.
Let the baked apples cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm as is or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
